“I think that the future, even
10 or 20 years out, is going
to get deeply weird.
It’s going to challenge us,
as a species, in ways that
we’ve not had to confront
in our long evolution. ”
- Michael Edson, Sept 6, 2011
Co-founder at Museum for the United Nations – U.N. Live
Formerly: Director of Web and New Media Strategy Smithsonian Institution

"I think that when I was first
reading science fiction,
which would have been in
the late 1950's, the
consensual 'now' was
3 or 4 years long, and with
3 or 4 years of relatively
unchanging 'now' a writer of
science fiction had the space
in which to erect something.

25.
“With that long a 'now' you
could build a relatively big
structure before that now
hauled itself into the future
that made your big structure
obsolete.
“But today, now can feel like
a news cycle. It's like the
now is too narrow to allow for
that big a construct.

“We have too many
cards in play to
casually erect
believable futures”

“Anyone [reading this] has
already seen more of this
change in their lifetime—of
broader scope, larger scale,
and faster speed—than our
ancestors saw in hundreds,
thousands, or even tens of
thousands of years.

35.
“And even though this kind
of change is happening all
around us, every day,
we seem as unprepared to
recognize and harness it—
to discuss, manage, and
shape it.

36.
“And we’re just
getting started—
just beginning to
chart the surface of
what will come. ”

The pace of change is accelerating
and the progression is exponential.
Indeed … we find not just simple
exponential growth, but “double”
exponential growth, meaning that
the rate of exponential growth is
itself growing exponentially.

A lot of exercise isn’t as important
as regular exercise.
You don’t need to be a gym rat to reap the
benefits.The first 20 minutes of moving
around provides most of the health benefits.
and also helps keep the mood elevated.
Exercise is something
completely in your control and one of the
top 3 things you can do to ensure you have
the physical, mental, & emotional energy to
be healthy and effective.

“While many creative people in Hollywood are floundering
in the media sea change, Poehler is surfing.
"It all goes back to improv," she says. "It’s
all about flexibility, about not knowing what’s going
to happen next. You have to listen and stay in
the moment.You have to play with people who
will support you. You have to get comfortable
with being uncomfortable.”

Influence is something we do
not something we are (i.e.“a LEADER”)
are or a position we hold.
Influence is situational
It’s about the choices we make moment
by moment that either move things in the
direction of a desired goal or not.
If not, we can choose again.

About making good
choices…
Acting with emotional and social
intelligence will help us make
good choices and…

“Choosing to act on ‘what matters’
is the choice to live a
passionate existence…
Acting on what matters is a stance
whereby we declare we are
accountable for the world around us
and are willing to pursue
what we define as important.
